Pippy Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pippy Park is a large urban park located in the city of St. John's, Newfoundland. The park is located across Long Pond from the campus of the Memorial University of Newfoundland and is a popular camping, hiking and recreational park within the city. The park is home to the Fluvarium, an environmental education centre which offers a cross section view of Nagle's Hill Brook. The Fluvarium is not an aquarium in that none of the fish are in captivity - the building offers an underwater view of a natural river. The word Fluvarium comes from the Latin "Fluvius" (flowing water) and means literally, windows on a stream.
